“Days before taking office, President Donald Trump and his wife Melania launched their own cryptocurrency. His organization also plans to move forward with new real estate projects in Saudi Arabia. Eric Trump, the president’s son, oversees the company’s real estate interests and announced the expansion at a conference in Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia in October. Eric also mentioned that his father will be ‘the most pro-crypto president in U.S. History.’ A sitting president prioritizing personal capitalist expansion over the people along with the outgoing Democratic administration’s support of genocide in Palestine signals the country’s imperial decline. For humanity to move toward genuine peace, the United States empire must end.” [editor’s note: Fortunately, the US empire has been in decline for decades. Crypto is just part of the next thing AFTER empire – TLK] (01/24/25)
